Wow! A real vacation! And a family vacation at that!! It's been years since all four of us got to go anywhere together. Mom, Dad, and Michael left on Sunday. I joined them on Tuesday night and we all came back on the following Sunday. We went to Puerto Penasco (Rocky Point), Mexico. It's only a 4 or 5 hour drive from Tucson.
We had a wonderful time relaxing, reading, playing board games, talking, and generally having a good time. It wasn't really beach vacation weather (high 50s and low 60s everyday), but there was qutie a bit of sun shine, and it was a fantastic change of scenery.
On the way home, we stopped for lunch at the Hiway 86 Cafe in Why, Arizona. Really! Why! Most of the tables were of the folding variety. The menu was kind of limited, but good. And the cook was packing heat. Why not in Why? Seriously, had a hand gun strapped to his side. Made me wonder what was in the kitchen that might need immediate dispatching. But I did feel better that he didn't need to use it while we were there.
I'm looking forward to the next family vacation at the end of June 2008.
